Special Thanks!
Hi members!
Today is friday. No band.
Yesterday was P.O.C. Our nice, kind, helpful, pretty and handsome seniors are leaving. We had the graduating day yesterday. The band members and teachers in charge want to give a BIG THANKS to all the graduating seniors. Thank you for all your support and help for the past few years with all your contribution and commitment to the band till we achieved our silver in SYF. We won't make it without you guys. H0pe you guys will come back when you are free.
Below is the speech given by our band major, Jasmine, on the graduation day:
"I'd like to congratulate the band for their outstanding performance at the SYF and the achievement of a silver award. The silver award is the culmination of all the previous virtuoso performances by the band. Throughout these 4 years, I have had my fair share of good days and bad. The days that couldn’t have got worst, were during the SYF period. There were tedious trainings, intensive practices, and many criticisms that affected our morale. It was indeed a rollercoaster ride. Did we give up? NO! Did we resign our fate? NO! We worked extremely hard and yes, our hard work eventually paid off. The silver we achieved wasn’t one's effort, but all. As the saying goes "All for one, one for all". Well, to be honest, I wasn’t enthusiastic towards the band in sec1. There was little involvement and I was just another band member. However, we were given opportunities to participate in school events, public performances and competitions in the later part. That was when my interest started to grow. Through all these, it gained me much exposure, allowed to develop leadership qualities and also enchanted my music abilities. I can remember vividly the collective joy and triumphant feeling, aide our bond grow stronger. The good times makes me want to remain a band member so I wouldn’t have to be left out from all the fun. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end. It’s hard to say goodbye, and what's left are only the beautiful memories. However, my journey doesn't stop here. Manjusri band has given me a strong musical foundation that will be carried on to future endeavors in other aspects of life. Last but not least, band made me realize the importance of friendship and teamwork. A piece of music would be incomplete without a particular person/instrument/section. Each of us plays an important role in music production. Now i would like to take this opportunity to thank several people who accompanied me through this exhilarating journey. Mrs Tay for her infinite support and encouragement. The teachers in charge of, for their continual support and motivation. Our conductor, Mr Foo, for his endless guidance and patience. If not for him, our silver would be unattainable. Mr Yeo Cheng Fu and Clifford Teo, for their endless contributions to the band. Band wouldn’t be what it is today without their efficiency. The leaders and committee members for the unselfish contributions and commitment to the band. And most importantly, the rest of the band members for their participation and commitment to the band. "Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to do so." Here's to you my fellow band mates, You guys are truly amazing. Thank you."
Learn and pick up the good things and teachings from the graduating seniors. We are not we are now without them and their hardwork. Yeah!
